With a soft sound, Saigo Takamori pushed away the two documents in front of him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Of these two documents, one is the "New Japan's Founding Strategy" submitted by Katsu Haishu, the new Japanese finance commissioner. One is the "New Japan Construction Strategy" pursued by the New Japanese Navy Takehiro Enomoto.

Although these two plans for the founding and construction of the country are signed with the names of Katsu Kaishu and Enomoto Takehiro. However, in the past 10 years, I don't know how many outstanding Japanese people have contributed their talents to these two projects, and I don't know how much effort has been spent investigating the geography and resources of the Patagonian plateau, Tierra del Fuego, Chile and Argentina. I don't know how many people have given their lives or bodies for the establishment of a new Japanese state in South America, and even the old Japan has been used as a bargaining chip for the Ming Empire......

It's finally time to reap the benefits.

The framers of the two nation-building plans are now sitting at the head of Saigo Takamori. Although they are halfway monks, they have also studied at the Royal Naval Academy of the Ming Dynasty and served in the Ming South Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, and they are great talents with a maritime vision. One is an economic and industrial expert, who once participated in the establishment and operation of Lan Fangxing, the largest heavy industry enterprise in the Ming Dynasty, and is now the head of the Yokohama Foundation.

Both of them are the top Japanese elites of this era. It's a pity that in the old Japan, which was dominated by the samurai giants, there was not much room for them to rise. In the shogunate era, they were still able to get an errand with real power, such as being a commissioner or acting official. However, after the merger of the public and military, all the heads of the 300 famous families (known as the 300) came out to become officials, and how many prefectural governors, ministers, and vice-ministers were sent in the whole of old Japan? If it weren't for this new Japan. They're probably all Chinese by now...... Speaking of which. Establishment of New Japan's policy of assimilating Japan to Zhu Jishi. It's really a big obstacle.

However, the benefits are also obvious, that is, it has once again expanded the living space of the yellow ethnic groups in East Asia. That's right, it's the living space of the entire East Asian yellow race, not the Japanese people. Because now, a very real question is placed in front of Saigo Takamori and others, that is, where did the new Japanese come from?

The situation in New Japan, like the Kingdom of California in North America, was small in people and rich in resources...... The situation is certainly not entirely negative. But when the population is small enough to a certain extent, such as the new Japan, there are only more than 400,000 East Asian yellow people in the whole country, it is too small. You must know that the land area of the new Japan has exceeded 1.5 million square kilometers according to the metric system of later generations! At present, on average, three square kilometers is not enough to spread a single East Asian yellow race. The total number of Indians, Indo-Europeans, and whites in the land of New Japan was close to 1 million. Such a population size and demographic structure is simply a dead hole in the development of new Japan!

Therefore, the strategies submitted by Katsu Haizhou and Enomoto Takehiro both put the introduction of immigrants in the top priority without exception. Moreover, they all hope to introduce as many East Asian yellow people as possible.

"Why the East Asian Yellow Race...... Isn't it Japanese? Saigo Takamori looked at the two of them with some confusion.

Katsu Haishu and Enomoto Takehiro glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Sheng Haizhou smiled bitterly: "Saigo-kun, now that the old Japan has entered China, the people of Japan can share the fruits of the Ming Empire's territorial expansion. The Outer Northeast, Siberia, the Western Regions, Borneo, Nanjiaozhou, and the Kingdom of California are all open to Japanese citizens. The conditions that attract newcomers there. It's also very generous. I'm New Japan...... Compared to these places, it may not be very attractive. And. At present, the total number of Japanese citizens is less than 25 million, and I am afraid that less than half of them have the desire to emigrate. How much will my new Japan attract? If the door is closed to other East Asian peoples, I am afraid that the population of New Japan will remain low for a long time. ”

Takehiro Enomoto also chimed in: "If the new Japan wants to rise in South America, it must increase its population to more than 10 million within 20 years, and the yellow race in East Asia must account for the vast majority!" Without recruiting immigrants from the mainland, New Japan would not have been able to have such a large population in just 20 years......"

Saigo Takamori was a little confused at this time, and he had been busy with the Songun politics and the integration of the Indians (of course, also Genghis Khan's fusion method) in New Japan, in order to open up a rich and vast continental land for the Japanese nation.

Now that we have finally secured a piece of land that is so rich, not many Japanese are willing to come, which is really demoralizing. Also, there are other things that discourage motivation!

"It's just a matter of recruiting mainlanders, so why make the Chinese language an official language?" Saigo Takamori looked at the two in front of him. In both cases, Chinese and Japanese are listed as official languages...... And there is also a clear emphasis on Chinese, after all, Japanese now only has pronunciation and no words, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dialect of Chinese.

Takehiro Enomoto smiled bitterly and replied, "Now the new schools and most private schools in old Japan are already teaching in Chinese...... Due to the use of Latin pinyin, most Japanese young people can master Chinese very proficiently, and Japanese has gradually become a dialect! ”

"So fast?" Saigo Takamori took a cool breath. He also knew that the pro-China faction led by Tokugawa Akiko had been promoting Japan's entry into China for the past ten years, but he did not expect that Japan's entry into China would be so fast!

Enomoto Takehiro nodded silently, he had served in the Ming Navy and the old Japan's own navy before, and he knew more about the situation in mainland Japan than Saigo. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "The Japanese and Chinese languages are originally homophonic...... And the reason for this is actually because there is no phonetic transcription that is easy to grasp. After the Ming Dynasty implemented the pronunciation of the Latin alphabet, the official dialect of Nanjing was naturally very easy to promote. ”

In fact, the Japanese writing system was originally imported from China, and the reason why the "kana" unique Japanese writing system was derived was largely due to the fact that ancient Chinese did not have a convenient and easy-to-learn phonetic system. The current Japanese writing system is closer to Chinese than later generations. As long as you have a certain amount of education, you can use kanji proficiently, and you can read and write, but it is a little difficult to read. After the easy-to-learn Latin phonetic method was popularized in Japan, most Japanese people who could master Chinese characters learned Nanjing Mandarin in a very short time.

Enomoto Takeyang sighed softly and said, "After the introduction of Latin pinyin, public and private schools in Japan no longer teach kana. Moreover, the old Japanese government is now funded by the Ming Dynasty and has begun to implement compulsory education throughout the country, and the pronunciation of Nanjing Mandarin has become the standard pronunciation of compulsory education...... I'm afraid that in less than 10 years, the Japanese language will really become an irregular dialect. ”

Saigo Takamori's face was pale, and his eyes were even more bossy, "New Japan must not do this, we must retain the kana system!" ”

Sheng Haizhou shook his head and said: "Xixiang-kun, fake names are difficult to learn, and Latin pinyin is easy to understand!" More than 20 letters can accurately mark the pronunciation of Nanjing official dialect, and it is natural to replace the kana. And...... The pronunciation of kana is only understood by Japanese people, not by immigrants from mainland China and Korea. On the other hand, immigrants from Japan can understand the official dialect of Nanjing. There is no doubt who will become the lingua franca of the new Japan in the future. ”

"Baga!" Saigo Takamori slapped the table violently, "In this way, won't New Japan become another California kingdom?" This is not a new Japan, but a new China! ”

Sheng Haizhou looked at Xixiang for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Xixiang-kun, if it weren't for the millions of oriental yellow immigrants who speak Chinese, we wouldn't even have New China!" Sooner or later, hundreds of thousands of people in New Japan will be wiped out by the surrounding white race and Indians! I don't think it's difficult to make such a choice, right?
